Peko (6-1, 305 pounds) initially did not make Denver’s 53-man roster this year but was re-signed after the team placed outside linebacker Shane Ray on injured reserve. He was waived one week later and re-signed with the practice squad.

Peko was then promoted the 53-man roster on Sept. 16, only to be waived again on Oct. 21. He has been on the practice squad since then.

Peko is the younger cousin of Domata Peko, the Broncos’ starting nose tackle. He has dressed for just one game this season, recording no defensive stats. Peko recorded two tackles in one appearance last season.

The 24-year-old defensive lineman has a shot to play against the Raiders with defensive end Adam Gotsis (ankle) questionable.
